1. Versus Paradigma Utopia
"Eternal Darkness! Come to tear my dying heart into night. Send the truth to their eyes. Let the shadow-prophet rise!" High on the summit of that hill, beyond the reach of mortal eyes, by dark command and magick skill behold a new-erected palace arise! Inward burning consumes the heart, all colours have left my soul - faded to a grey swamp. With adamant the gates to light are barr'd; hide thou thy hated beams, O sun, in clouds and darkness. What is the key to the mistery that filled the wisdom of the savants once... Wandering unsilent beneath the burden of ages - crawling in the depths of night, nevermore to behold the light! Accompanied by a thousand fiery eyes which never know repose, I dwell on the darker side. But aiming at immortality with flaming ambition, I sway the imperial scepter before the universe. Removing the world's visionary joys evoked by deceiving falsehood. Saturia awakes in wrathfull shape to burn the bloodstained planet away. And hidden by the shades of night the slaught'rous hand again shall rise. Cursed are the paths of men, tremble thou miserable creatures! The envenomed seed lurks beneath the surface... Staring at the other side, I gaze upon a dying world that lies in its last painfull breaths. I, a phantom to the mortal sight, am untouched by the creeping decay that fills the sinfull domain of lifeless hearts and spirits. To speak with strength and crystal eye: damned be your kind!
2. Elevation (Towards The Splendid Embers Of Legendry)
And lo, I walk the sombre path that has been walked by thousands before me. Some might have been wronged, but noone ever took return. It is conclusive, yet many would have had to endure much more of the consuming smart... I stalk proud and noble as a king to the coronation, but no crown will be bestowed upon my brow, it will be taken. Tortured by the glacial mass... Callous souls driven by the longing for blood paint terrific images of horror. But alas! It is not only the torture of the soul, no, even my flesh will burst into blood. As the pain stirs up my body, but yet I am unable to locate the region from where it warns with its alarming torment, my spirit flies away. Driven by the apathy towards death and life, enchanted by the remembrance that builds up similar to spectral images before my distorted face - untouched by the augmenting tumult of the raging masses. But yet the pangs endure, come and go. Only disappearing to torture my flesh even stronger in double-shaped perfection. My innerself shelters from profane outward influences. No repose! No rest I wish on my way, for the faster I stalk towards the end. Towards my disgrace, my shame, my redeem. One final moment of contemplation, a breath of pale remembrance... 'Ere the dawn I'll give my blood, I'll give my life. A staggering rain of crimson shall seal my fall. My saga shall aye be inscribed into the chronicles of legendry - in blood. And thus, as the steely arm filled by heartbeat sinks down with dreadfull strength, I am judged...
3. The Nighted Deity
Azure is the blazing of my eyes... My brow bears an enthralling sigil. Deity of wrath am I, grim and brooding I reign. I am your misery and mistery, your thunderous elder fiend that glooms o'er your presence. From the depths of your innerself I came to bestow you with my black fury's poisoned seed - cataclysm, death and fear. Effortless I dominate your minds, easily shaping your thoughts and leaving them far behind. With blackness I'm painting your sky, and my will is controlling the path of your life. I mock the world, I ride the ancient storms. I, who was never born and never will fade away, am your dark unseen phenomenon a nameless unity. Effortless I dominate your minds, easily shaping your thoughts and leaving them far behind. The black flame of my fury burns high, filling your weak souls with that horrible dark gift of mine. In nighted shape I bear the scepter of fate; I extoll your flames and set them once more ablaze. I dwell unseen beyond the reach of your sight; causing fear, bringing death to your kind. Slowly my blackening darkens the skies, and my shadow's engulfing your minds. Nevermore to leave you on your own device... Gaze!... Stare!... See the nighted deity arise... Azure is the blazing of my eyes... My brow bears an enthralling sigil. Deity of wrath am I, grim and brooding I reign.
4. Double-Helixed Counterfeit (Tragedy Of The Dethroned Elder)
"Wretch that I am... Of my own ruin author! Once bearer of dark magick and close familiar with th' enemy of mankind - Alas! I'm on my own in this distress... All the strength I once possessed has flown away with the blood as I've risen from the devouring grave. My longing soul's desire died as I felt my doom impend. Ye crystal lakes, ye verdant streams - bear witness of my pain! Lifeless colours paint the outrageous maelstrom of my insight. I was the creator of gods, but all my former splendour has been swallowed by unnumbered pasts. Beclouded rememberance was vanishing my gaze to a horrid collapse of the sight. Total eclipse! All dark, all dark amidst the blaze of noon! I was murdered by my own incarnation, but as my physical appearance was swept from the scenery, my spiritual essence did not transcend the dimensional boundaries of all existence. Shapeless I dwell, caught in an empty cage!" "These days of blindness have provok'd my rage, and thus I scourged a degen'rate age. In shape of horror, shape of woe, I've risen from the shades below... From the earth's sombre womb I opened the marble jaws of my tomb. A horrid appearance even sublime to the forces of my creator. As my wrath was evolved, my burning ambition banned every form of resistent existence from the sight of my world. Deep longing within, conducting my sinister play in superior position. I became the master of colliding worlds, keeper of the cosmic keys, conductor of aeons. My thougts create galaxies, as my will turns imaginative elements into organic or may at once extinguish the blaze of a sun. For I am not of thee, I embrace and am embraced by the whole. I am the timecentre! I am the Multiverse!"
5. Mysterious Pantheon
We watch from the dark upon a landscape, bestowed by black rain. Clouds tower up and ebon dust swirls... the elements are staining the sky. As a splendid manifestation of darkness in purest shape - the second face of long past aeons takes entrance into our self. We who lurk beneath the earth, beneath the seas - beyond the stars. Starlight in our eyes, we've chosen the nighted path, ressembling to a mysterious pantheon to the sight of the profane ones. In supreme immortal majesty we stand as beings of divine supremacy. Bright are our fires agleaming against the pale wintermoonlight, our appearance mirrors on the ebon surface of the calm nightly ice-sea. We become one with the vastness of the nightrealm, keeping a secret dialogue with the stars. Deepest blackness in our eyes... And so the sombre night crawls into our hearts. Shadowed seems our existence to them - our mystery is veiled by aeons. By fire, by ice, by darkness, by starlight we ride the cosmic winds. We pass galaxies as well as dimensions and ages that no word e'er could spoil. Thwarted by the gloomy depth we are, brooding in the darkly stained waters of tragedy. Nameless we dwell all over and nowhere as dark immortal kings. Passing centuries, ages and aeons, conducting the flow of time since all times and for eternity. We who lurk beneath the earth, beneath the seas - beyond the stars. Starlight in our eyes, we've chosen the nighted path, ressembling to a mysterious pantheon to the sight of the profane ones. Dusk - time of our rising from the ancient bosom of mountains. And as the nightly firmament is illumined by the stellar brethren, the enlightment also touches our darkly bejewelled crowns. In supreme immortal majesty we stand as beings of divine supremacy. Bright are our fires agleaming against the pale wintermoonlight, our appearance mirrors on the ebon surface of the calm nightly ice-sea. We become one with the vastness of the nightrealm, keeping a secret dialogue with the stars...
